Is Mister Trump Surgically Welded To That Baseball Cap?

He gave a press conference (selected and favoured journalists only) on Iran wearing that MAGA baseball cap - again. Not a look that lends gravity and dignity to the so-called Leader Of The Free World.

And Mister Trump doesn't look as if he's played baseball in many a long year, if ever.

Apparently the hats are made in China! 🤣🤣🤣

The baseball cap hides Trump’s thinning and wispy hair…. Also obscures his face ….

After reading the whole thread, this. grin

Loads. What problem is there with you not resorting to whatabouttery? I am 100% against theocracy in any form. Rounding up people while dressed like a paramilitary soldier with no checks and balances is the sort of thing I associate with theocracies and dictatorships. We have the rule of law. Do you disapprove of that if Trump doesn't like it? Is this a hill you really want to die on?

And what problems are there with theocratic government? IOMGran

I don’t agree that executive order is marginally better than theocracy. I see theocracy as the main reason for the wars in the Middle East. It’s just fantasy to say that the USA won’t hold an election after Trump’s term.

He's crossed a lot of norms and lines. That'd be just one more. He obviously has contempt for the democratic process. We'll see won't we. I just wonder how bad he has to be before right wing people see the problem.

But he’s a felon and a rapist!

Executive order wins over theocracy every time.

It's marginally better but it's not a great thing for democracy. Especially paining your political opponents as traitors and emboldening far right gangs to run amok. I worry that there will not be an election again after Trump is put out to pasture and Peter Theils boy Vance is in charge.

Jeannied a lone voice of reason amongst all this vitriol.

Fact: Hillary Clinton supplied Iran with uranium to enrich their nuclear program
Fact: Barack Obama gave Iran 1.7 billion that they used to fund their nuclear program
Fact: Joe Biden unfroze over $16 billion of fun’s for Iran.

Fact: President Trump consulted with his chiefs of staff and top military advisers before coming to this decision.

Fact: you don’t put a stealth mission to a vote - hence the word stealth.

Fact: the US military only bombed uranium targets which was the sole intent of the mission.
And all you can talk about on here is the “fact” that he wears a baseball cap.

That’s not all entirely true. The funds returned to Iran were those that had been frozen. The funds belonged to Iran and were returned in exchange for an agreement made by Obama regarding control of nuclear development. The agreement worked until Trump tore it up. You’re welcome to believe Trump’s lies.

I am proud to be an American. Try living here before you make assumptions. I have lived in the UK also, and I know which I prefer.

I'm a dual Citizen of the US and UK. Born and raised in the US. Moved to the UK in 2009, so I feel I can confidently speak on this subject. Though, I really think it's stretching things a bit far to think that you must be resident of a country to have an opinion on it. If that were true, well...it would not just be trump's America, it would be trump's world. I prefer the UK. That helps give us a good balance.

Skodadoda Tue 24-Jun-25 15:55:22

Yes, and it looks ridiculous. He and Vance had the audacity to rudely criticise President Zelensky’s dress.

If you like the idea of being run by executive order and bypassing every check and balance I think you don't really believe in democracy.

Septima... he must have done that a few times then

Arto1s Tue 24-Jun-25 15:43:17

IOMGran I am not embarrassed to be a Republican. I am not embarrassed to be an American. I am not embarrassed that I voted for President Trump, again. Does he embarrass me when he speaks? Quite often, yes. But I am NOT embarrassed by the way he is running our country. If you feel comfortable with the idea of Iran having nuclear weapons then good luck to you.

IOMGran Tue 24-Jun-25 15:36:01

I can see we have a few MAGAts on here. You'd think they'd be embarrassed.

keepingquiet Tue 24-Jun-25 15:33:17

At least he doesn't wear it backwards...

And today the F word from this eloquent being

It was shocking, even for him, and then he just stomped off. He’s truly a madman

Sheian57 I am an American. Try replacing that word in your post with “Black” or “Muslim”. How does it sound now? Racist springs to mind.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 24-Jun-25 15:26:40

Balanced and criticism without insults is a much better way to get one’s point over.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 24-Jun-25 15:25:10

Once I start to see posters throwing out childish insults I tend to ignore the posts and posters.

Why is he despicable. Did you say that about moronic Biden and his money laundering?

In fact some of us have been quite critical of Biden - but he's out of office now, so we're debating Trump.

Trump is despicable for lots of reasons. Apart from the politics - he lies... and he mocks people's disabilities and dead soldiers (even more despicable because he himself has never served his country in the military). That's apart from the pussy-grabbing - a trait which irons him out as a misogynist.

... oh, and BTW, we are not all left-wing, far from it.

Camry1952 I am sure you think you are being funny with your asinine remarks….
